We will once again focus on an outstanding event that will highlight the 4-H programs and youth education, while also providing agricultural education to children and families in our community. 4-H livestock and horse shows along with additional 4-H activities will take place starting Tuesday, August 8, with the 4-H livestock auction on Friday afternoon. The fair will culminate in a family festival for the public on Saturday, August 12 that will offer fun entertainment and activities, plus hands-on demonstrations and educational activities for the community. 2023 is going to be a great Kalamazoo County Youth Fair & Family Festival!
